JAIL! One of my favorite TV shows is 'Locked Up Abroad' on National Geographic. Each intense episode reenacts a persons story of how they got involved in illegal activity overseas and locked up abroad. They are usually hard up for money, get offered a free vacation and get talked into making a stupid decision that changes their lives forever.I get such anxiety watching the show, my hearts pounds and I will begin to sweat as the story unfolds as to what they're going through in their unfamiliar destination. As I watch it I can't help but scream at the TV, "You really thought it would be a good idea to cross the Darien Gap by yourself?" or "Sure customs in Thailand won't detect that 50 pounds of heroin your smuggling under your shirt, it doesn't look obvious at all!" I am addicted to this show and I have to know what happens to these people, how they overcome the situation they put themselves in and how they survive it under such harsh circumstances. Hopefully after watching this show more people will learn and not make the same mistakes because being locked up abroad is definitely no vacation.
